Congratulations on completing your studies at the University of Lincoln. You will soon be attending your graduation ceremony at Lincoln's magnificent Cathedral. These pages are designed to help you plan your graduation.
The University's next graduation ceremonies will be taking place the week commencing 9 September 2019.
To be eligible to attend the September 2019 graduation ceremonies, your award must have been conferred by a University Board of Examiners on or before 31 July 2019.
If you are eligible to attend September graduation, we will be in contact with you in April 2019 with further details on how to register your attendance. Please ensure your personal contact details are up-to-date, including your personal email account and permanent address.
If your award is conferred after 31 July 2019, you will be invited to attend the next set of graduation ceremonies, which will be taking place in January 2020. The confirmed dates for our January graduation ceremonies are 22 and 23 January 2020. The University will confirm the configuration of when each academic school will graduate for our January ceremonies in Autumn 2019. Please refer to our Terms and Conditions of Graduation Attendance for full details.
If you have not received an email regarding your graduation ceremony and you believe that you are eligible to attend, please contact the graduation team at graduation@lincoln.ac.uk.
We look forward to seeing you and hope you have an excellent graduation day.
To attend the Graduation ceremony, you must register by completing our online registration process. You will be notified by email in April 2019 regarding registration dates and times.
You will need your registration email with the correct login details. To gain access to the online registration site visit William Northam.
Fill in the details in the new customer box, then enter your university student ID (first 3 letters of your surname followed by your 8 digit ID), surname, and then your University email address (as noted in the invitation email). Once you have created an account you will be able to amend your email address and other contact details by selecting the 'my details' option. Please make note of all login details, as you may need these for purchasing extra tickets in the future.
The online site will allow you to register your place at the ceremony, book complimentary guest tickets, and organise gown hire. Subject to availability, you will also be able to purchase extra tickets after the initial registration deadline (4 August 2019).
A confirmation email will be sent to the email address you provide during registration as proof of your booking. This email address will be used to send future correspondence regarding the ceremony. Please ensure you fully complete the registration process and provide your correct details. If you do not receive the confirmation email, please log back in and check your booking.
If you do not wish to attend a graduation ceremony, or are unable to attend this ceremony, please contact us at graduation@lincoln.ac.uk and we can invite you to the next set of ceremonies if requested. If you have completed the registration process already, please also cancel your place and cancel or defer your gown hire purchase with William Northam directly.
Please note that attendance at graduation is subject to the successful completion of your award and payment of any outstanding tuition fees.
Please see our Terms and Conditions of Graduation Attendance with reference to late registrations.
Each Graduand is guaranteed a ticket and two complimentary guest tickets to attend a ceremony when registering before the deadline of the 4 August 2019.
Please note that your own ticket will have a seat number printed on it. It is imperative that you sit in the seat allocated to you as it determines the order you will cross the stage during the ceremony. Your ticket will allow you admittance to the celebration reception and also contains a free drinks voucher, so please keep hold of your ticket.
Tickets will not be sent in the post. A ticket email will be sent to the email address provided during registration. This email will be sent after extra ticket sales have closed. You will need to bring this email with you as proof of ID to collect your tickets from the ticketing desk. Your ticket email will state what time you can collect your tickets, and where from.
For ticket enquiries, please contact the Graduation team at graduation@lincoln.ac.uk.
Each student can order two complimentary guest tickets at the time of booking.
Extra tickets over and above the two complimentary tickets will be subject to availability and the number available for each registered student to purchase will be calculated for each ceremony after the registration deadline. If extra tickets are available these will be limited in number and sold on a first come first serve basis. All registered students will be informed by email (to the email account they registered with) with details on how many extra tickets can be purchased for each ceremony, and when extra ticket sales will be available for purchase. Extra tickets will be available to purchase through the William Northam registration website at a cost of £20 per ticket (including VAT).
If you are having trouble purchasing extra tickets, in the first instance, please contact William Northam directly via email: student@williamnortham.com or telephone: 08702401852 (national rate). For other ticket enquiries, please contact the graduation team: graduation@lincoln.ac.uk.
Please ensure you book your gown well in advance of your graduation date by visiting the gowning website (William Northam). Your gown will be collected on the day of your ceremony.
The deadline to book your gown is Friday 23 August 2019.
The dress code for the ceremony is smart. Remember that academic gowns do not hide what is worn underneath, so what you wear will be very visible to the entire congregation. Gowns are also more difficult to wear over very casual clothes as they do not 'sit' well on the shoulders. Buttoned shirts are helpful for securing your gown hood and jackets help keep the gown in place. Your gown will slip if worn over silky fabric and very low‐cut tops leave you with no means of keeping the hood in place. Please avoid jeans, trainers, casual sandals, open‐necked shirts, T‐shirts, and shorts as they are inappropriate for a formal graduation ceremony.
Finally, remember you will have to wear a mortar board, so take care that your hairstyle will allow you to do so.
Please note: It is a requirement that all Graduands attending their graduation ceremony wear the appropriate University of Lincoln academic dress.

Immediately after the Graduation ceremony an Alumni celebration reception will take place in a marquee in the grounds of Lincoln Castle.
All graduates are invited to attend this reception with their guests. After the ceremony the academics will process out of the Cathedral and to the Castle. We ask students to join this procession and meet their guests in the Castle grounds and then to attend the Celebration reception.
Drinks will be available from the paid bar. After the reception, you will be able to return your gowns.
Only guests with tickets will be able to attend the celebration reception.
The University does not provide parking for the graduation ceremonies. There are 'pay and display' car parks near to the Cathedral and Castle that also have disabled parking bays. Please allow plenty of time to arrive in Lincoln and find a parking space before the ceremony begins, as these car parks can get busy.
Car parks in Lincoln (please note that the Castle Hill car park may be closed over the graduation period).
All students who wish to attend their graduation will be required to complete an online registration form. By completing the registration form you are consenting that the information collected can be used for graduation purposes and shared with appropriate departments within the University such as Finance and Alumni. The information will not be disclosed to any third parties outside the University of Lincoln.
The University of Lincoln's bi-annual graduation ceremonies held in January and September are considered to be public events. This means that the names and award titles, but no classifications, of all graduands (including those graduating in absentia) are published in the graduation brochure. In addition, the names of graduands will be provided to our external supplier for use on graduation products such as graduation t-shirts and hoodies. This does not include award titles or any other information.
The University's official photographers are Tempest Graduation Photography. They will be available in the photography studio in the Castle Grounds, before or after your ceremony.
Visit Tempest Graduation Photography to view packages and prices. Unfortunately, it is not possible to pre-order a photography package, but these can be ordered during and after your ceremony.
There will be a professional video recording taken of each graduation ceremony, this will be streamed on the University of Lincoln's website and will be available for purchase on DVD after the ceremony. Graduates and guests seated in the Cathedral should be aware that they may appear on this recording.
Please only bring small bags with you since larger bags and holdalls will not be permitted due to lack of space and the University does not offer bag storage facilities.
The local press may be in attendance at the ceremonies and may take photographs and video footage. They will not use individual or small group shots of you without asking for your consent first.
We are usually only able to discuss student-related matters directly with the student concerned and are not at liberty to divulge information or take instruction from a third party, even if that person is a family member.
We need to know if graduands or their guests require any additional requirements (e.g. for health or mobility reasons), so that appropriate support and adjustments can be made on the day. This information is held securely and only shared with those involved in the running of the ceremony, such as the graduation ushers. Any information regarding a student or their guests' additional requirements will be deleted immediately after the ceremonies have taken place.
My visa will expire before my graduation ceremony, how can I attend my graduation?
If your visa expires before your graduation ceremony you will need to return home before your visa expires and apply for a Standard Visit Visa to return to the UK (your family can also apply for this visa). When you are issued with a Standard Visit Visa you can then attend graduation using this visa to travel to the UK. It can take some time to receive this visa so you need to apply well in advance of your graduation ceremony. There are a number of documents you need to prepare for the visa application and this may also take some time. It is important that you research this visa carefully to ensure your visa application is successful.
For more information about Standard Visit Visas, visit our website.
Information from the Home Office about Standard Visit Visas is available on the gov.uk website.
If you have any questions about your visa please contact the International Advice Team either by emailing Internationaladvice@lincoln.ac.uk or if you are in Lincoln attend their drop-in Monday-Friday between 12pm-2pm in the Student Support Centre.
As the sun sets on your time here at the University of Lincoln, get ready for a night of unforgettable entertainment. Wear your sharpest suit or most dramatic dress and celebrate in style at the Grad Ball.
Appreciate every minute of your graduation. A majority of you will only get one graduation day and a lot of the friends you have made across the three years of studies will be leaving for different parts of the country and the world, enjoy the day, make the most of it and speak with as many as your peers as possible. Although the day itself will pass as quickly as the three years spent at the University, you will remember the day for the rest of your life.
Following graduation we hope you will continue to stay in touch through our Alumni community.

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Since the FedExCup Playoffs began in 2007, the regular season concluded with the Wyndham Championship, and the 125-player Playoff field was set. Starting with the 2018-'19 PGA TOUR season, the top-10 finishers in the final regular season FedExCup point standings will also earn a bonus as a member of the Wyndham Rewards Top 10, the PGA TOUR announced this morning. The 80th annual Wyndham Championship is set for July 30-Aug. 4, 2019 at Sedgefield Country Club.
The new $10 million Wyndham Rewards Top 10 not only will add drama to the Wyndham Championship as the final event before the FedExCup Playoffs but will also put an even greater premium on excelling over the course of the FedExCup Regular Season. The top-10 Regular Season finishers in FedExCup points through the Wyndham Championship – also sponsored by Wyndham Rewards – will reap the benefits of the Wyndham Rewards Top 10. The leader will earn $2 million, followed by $1.5 million for the runner-up with the 10th-place finisher earning $500,000. Additionally, each player in the top 10 will be invited into Wyndham Rewards at its most exclusive Diamond level, unlocking all the travel perks and unique Wyndham benefits that go along with it.
In addition, the new playoff format puts greater emphasis on entering the playoffs more highly ranked. The FedExCup Playoffs – which have been reduced from four to three events beginning next season and will conclude before Labor Day, allowing the TOUR to compete to own the August sports calendar – will feature fields of 125 for THE NORTHERN TRUST, 70 for the BMW Championship and 30 for the TOUR Championship, where the FedExCup Champion will be determined. Players now have only two events to position themselves in the top 30 with a chance to win the FedExCup championship.


Seagreens blog: How can Seagreens improve your health?
There are a number of ways Seagreens products can improve your health and wellbeing. Seagreens products provide a natural, comprehensive balance of macro and micronutrients with no excessive components.
The Food Capsules and Food Granules are a mix of Ascophyllum, Fucus and Pelvetia (see images below, copyright Seagreens) which are harvested on the Outer Hebrides.
When mixed, these seaweeds provide a perfectly balanced and complete dietary foundation for everyday use. Seagreens is not powdered as this can damage the minerals. The seaweed is slowly air dried to avoid over heating which can also harm the nutritional profile. These types of seaweed are not to be confused with others such as deep water kelp or fresh water algae like spirulina, chlorella, or blue-green which do not have such a complete nutritional profile.
How can I use these in everyday life?
The dose of the tablets depends on the reason for taking. Always read the label.
The food granules can be used in cooking. They are great as a salt replacement so are ideal for people with high blood pressure who are looking to reduce their salt intake. The granules add a slightly nutty flavour and go well in many dishes.

Go See Hear In L.A. – June 6-13 (Los Straitjackets and Death Cab For Cutie edition)
Posted on June 6, 2011	by Michael Berick
This week's Go See Hear starts off on a charitable note.
In case, you haven't heard, a Rhino Pop-Up store has popped up again – this time at 10952 Santa Monica Blvd., but only until June 12. Proceeds from the store sales will benefit the charity MusicCares. The store is hosting a number of in-stores. This week, for example, Little Willie G (from the legendary Latino rock band Thee Midnighters) performs on Monday night, the fabulous Ruby Friedman Orchestra is there on Tuesday, Gaby Moreno will showcase songs from her fine disc Illustrated Songs (check it out!!) on Wednesday, Kristian Hoffman is there Thursday and Friday has the double bill of Susan James and Martha Davis.
Another big benefit will take place Tuesday night at Club Mayan in downtown L.A. that will help raise money for Los Straitjackets' Danny Amis, who is battling multiple myeloma. The 'jackets will be playing along with Jimmy Vivino and the Basic Cable Band (from the Conan Show), along with guests like Ben Vaughn, Big Sandy, Pete Anderson, Cesar and David from Los Lobos, Rosie Flores, Stan Ridgway and Conan himself. It promises to be a special night to help a special guy.
Continuing on the medical front, Adele has had to postpone her hotly anticipated show Monday at the Greek with Wanda Jackson and Thursday at the Palladium due to a bad case of laryngitis. No word on when the British soultress will return to Southern California.
Still, there are more than enough great shows happening this week. Death Cab for Cutie will showcase their new album Codes and Keys at El Rey on Tuesday. Come early to catch The Lonely Planet, who play earnest and endearing indie pop-rock. "Turn Off This Song and Go Out," is a great tune to get introduced to their music.
The wonderful power pop band Sloan plays the Bootleg on Wednesday night. It's a rare opportunity to see this veteran band in a small setting (I'm guessing the club will be packed). The Canadian group's new Yep Roc disc The Double Cross continues their recent hot streak of albums.
Speaking of veterans, two venerable singer-songwriters Loudon Wainwright and John Prine share the bill on Friday night at the Orpheum Theater. You'll be hard-pressed to find a show with two more skilled songwriters.
The red-hot local band The Belle Brigade lands at the Satellite on the 10th. Another buzzed-about duo Jenny & Johnny come to the Music Box on the 11th. Joining them on the bill are La Sera and Nik Freitas (who has a strong new album, Saturday Night Underground, sparkling indie folk-pop). The Bootleg also has a fine bill Saturday when Timber Timbre and Marissa Nadler perform their quiet but compelling music.
The Iron and Ink Festival happens this weekend at the Queen Mary in Long Beach and its lineup includes bands like the Sonics, the Buzzcocks, Detroit Cobra and Adolescents. Also this weekend, The Playboy Jazz Festival comes to the Hollywood Bowl. Dianne Reeves, The Roots and a New Orleans salute (which includes the Rebirth Brass Band, Kermit Ruffins and Mr. Michael White) highlight Saturday night while Sunday includes Buddy Guy, John Scofield and Harmony 3 (with Ronnie Laws, Walter Beasley and Stanley Jordan)
Tiger Army's Nick 13 has gone twangy on his solo debut on Sugar Hill, and impressively so. He'll be at the Troubadour June 10-11.
This week, the talented Henry Wolfe (whom I have praised and written about in the past) starts a new Monday night residency at the Bootleg. Make note of the lineup on the 20th (which includes Jenny O) and the big bill on the 27th (when Charlie Wadhams, The Chapin Sisters and Harper Simon are scheduled to play). Meanwhile, the eclectic vocal group Sonos has a Wednesday night residency this month at the Hotel Café and the local popsters The 88 continue their not-quite-a-month-long Friday residency there through June 17.
A band called Shakespeare's Fool creates songs out of the Bard's verses. They will be performing at Genghis Cohen on the 7th. Wednesday the 8th finds the quirky Irish singer Julie Feeney at Largo, while the Silverlake Lounge welcomes Vermont-based singer-songwriter Kris Gruen and Portland, OR's John Heart Jackie (I have been impressed with their languid rustic folk music).
On the 9th, Neal Casal will be at the Bootleg. While he has been playing in Ryan Adams' band of late, Casal has been a much admired singer-songwriter since the early '90s and on the 11th, the Quick & Easy Boys deliver their funky and fun 70's-inspired rock to Villains' Tavern.
I want to make mention of all of the fine concerts happening on June 13th, an extraordinary number for a Monday. Dead Can Dance's Brendan Perry has his first studio album out in 11 years (Ark, which is just his second solo album). He's sharing the El Rey stage with the Cocteau Twins' Robin Guthrie. The Civil Wars' disc is one of the years' best debuts. The duo will play two nights at Largo (June 13-14). Another good singer-songwriter James Vincent McMorrow opens. The dynamic Florence and the Machine will heat up the Greek Theatre, and, if you are looking for more options, the Hotel Café has sets from the smooth and soulful Nigerian singer Asa as well as boppy Chicago rockers, Gold Motel (I see them as like a rockier Blondie).

Q: How do you refer to a function without invoking it, because foo is the same as foo() so it is already invoked In Ruby, how do you refer to a function without invoking it, because foo is the same as foo() so it is already invoked.
for example,   puts.class  is the same as  puts().class

A: You use method, like so:
o = Object.new
def o.do_it
  puts "I did it!"
end

m = o.method(:do_it)
m.call    # prints out "I did it!"

Moonstone to publish comics based on the legendary radio thriller 'I Love A Mystery.'
– on Jan 07, 2004
Official Press Release
Do Not Fail to listen to the exciting program " I LOVE A MYSTERY"
Carlton E. Morse's hair-raising, teeth-chattering thrillers that have all America on the edge of its chair!!! (radio ad from 1940)
"The old-time radio series, "I Love A Mystery," written, produced and directed by Carlton E. Morse, is considered by many as the greatest radio adventure series ever!" It ran from 1939-1953, and there were four movies (three in the late 1940's and one in 1966) to boot!Who could not love a show with such luridly shudder-pulpy titles as "Temple of Vampires", "The Pirate Loot of the Island of Skulls", "Bury Your Dead Arizona", & The Thing that Cries in the Night ?
"I Love a Mystery" featured three memorable rough and tumble seekers of fun, mayhem and adventure; Jack, Doc and Reggie. A combination of the Three Musketeers and Robin Hood all rolled into one, the three considered themselves Soldiers of Fortune with a difference, ones with a conscience and a morality to adhere to. The three had originally met while fighting for the losing side during the Japanese occupation of Manchuria , but they united again stateside after surviving that conflict against seemingly impossible odds.
In the carefree early days the stories were basically rough and tumble pulp action stories as the trio literally stumbled into adventure just for the fun of it. As Jack put it, "we simply weren't cut out for regular working hours, we like to move around too much." Later, the emphasis was more on mystery, adventure, and the supernatural as the trio took on clients and opened the A-1 Detective Agency in Hollywood; Doc hires Jerry Booker, as the A-1's super-scrumptious spunky secretary/co-adventurer.
I Love A Mystery even inspired the writers of the original Hanna-Barbara cartoon, "Scooby Doo--Where Are You"!
That's right, Moonstone has entered into an arrangement with the rights holder to this old time radio property!But you dont need to know anything about the radio show to enjoy these hell-raising adventure tales!
Moonstone will first publish a remastered collection (in TPB form) of the seldom seen newspaper strip!Moonstone is working with the strip's original creator Don sherwood to make sure that it all goes smoothly.Look for it late Summer'04!

The Tiger and the Dragon II: Miners Try to Take Advantage of China's Slowdown
by Sohrab Darabshaw on May 21, 2015
Commodities, Company News, Exports, Ferro Alloys, Ferrous Metals, Imports, Supply & Demand
According to a report, crude-steel output in China dropped 1.3% to 270.07 million metric tons in the first four months of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. The World Steel Association has forecast that China will end up using far less steel this year and maybe even the next. Which means more supply and far less demand due to China's slowdown.
Pool 4 Tool's Automotive SRM Summit
The report quoted Alan Chirgwin, BHP Billiton iron ore marketing vice president, as saying steel supply was expected to rise by about 110 million metric tons this year, exceeding demand growth by around 40 mmt.
Yet this has not fazed Rio Tinto Group, for example, which recently announced it would continue with its plan to produce iron ore at full capacity despite the fall in prices. While BHP and Brazil's Vale SA have, for now, stepped on the brakes vis-à-vis their medium-term plans, team Rio, on the other hand, thinks reducing production costs will help it hang on to its lead…and profits.
Betting on a Comeback
Rio Tinto sees China coming back with renewed vigor and driving global iron ore demand through 2030.
Where does that leave India? So far as iron ore or even steel consumption is concerned, China is miles ahead of India, even in the fatigued condition it finds itself today. India, as reported by MetalMiner, drew a blank for about two years due to a court-imposed ban on ore mining, which left its steel companies at the mercy of imports, something that they continue to rely on even today.
That had also affected its iron ore exports, especially from the ore-rich provinces of Goa and Odisha. India's iron ore imports went up dramatically to a record 6.76 million tons in the first 7 months of the 2014-15 fiscal year. Once, the country was the third-largest supplier of iron ore to the world, but, because of the export duty and a national mining ban, it had turned into an importer.
Analysts predict India was likely to remain a net importer of iron ore in 2015-16 as well, no thanks to the continued drop in falling international rates. The only silver lining, claimed analysts, could be that due to the resumption in the domestic production of iron ore, the quantity of imports may not be as high as the last fiscal year.
Captive Market
India's steel companies do not have captive mines, so they have to get their average 95 mmt a year of iron ore from elsewhere. With international price of ore hovering today at about $50 per mt for high-grade ore, it is too attractive a deal for Indian steel mills to be passed on. As reference points, last year, iron ore imports happened when rates had touched $90 per mt.
In all this, Australia, a country that sells about 80% of its ore to China, sits in a happy position. While it hopes that the recent cuts in interest rates will revive the Chinese economy, and thus its demand for iron ore and coking coke, it is also looking increasingly to India to pick up its stock. Last year, for example, as reported by MetalMiner Australia had approved Adani Group's approximate $15.5-billion (AUS $16.5 billion) Carmichael coal project in Queensland that could yield up to 60 million mt of coal per year. That was just the beginning. For the Aussies, if the dragon's appetite for iron ore and coking coal is satiated, the hungry tiger is always lurking in the background.

The aim of the SUMP Glossary is to provide a brief explanation of specialist words, terms and abbreviations relating to the subject of sustainable urban mobility planning. The Glossary has been prepared by the CH4LLENGE project and as a result, there is a particular focus on defining terms relating to the four key challenges of plan development studied by the project, namely: participation, cooperation, measure selection and monitoring & evaluation. It is envisaged that, over time, the international community of mobility practitioners will add to the content of the online Glossary and produce versions in different languages.
A simple structure has been followed so that users can search for words, terms and abbreviations in a standard alphabetic format. For each Glossary term, the following information is provided:
•	a general definition and, where available, a specific definition relating to transport and mobility planning;
•	an explanation of why the term is relevant to sustainable urban mobility planning; and
•	references to sources.
The preparation of the Glossary, including the selection of terms and drafting of definitions, has been informed by a review of relevant reports, guidance documents and existing glossaries. The key reference is the European Union "Guidelines - Developing and implementing a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan" prepared for the EC's Intelligent Energy Europe (IEE) programme by Rupprecht Consult (January 2014) and therefore this has not been identified as a source throughout the document. The outputs of the CH4LLENGE project have also provided a principal source of information and the official documents can be found at www.sump-challenges.eu.
Please note that not all the explanatory text is taken directly from the listed sources. The authors have sought to take established definitions and information as the basis and explain these in simple terms and relate them to the context of sustainable urban mobility planning where this was not previously the case.

Agglomeration (urban)
Attitudinal or behavioural measure
By Admin Eltis / Updated: 28 May 2019
Definition – In the context of SUMP, ownership refers to a high degree of commitment and responsibility for a plan, policy or measure by stakeholders and citizens, resulting from their involvement in the formulation of plans and measures. A feeling of ownership among stakeholders would likely result in participants asking questions like "How can we solve this?" as opposed to "What are you [the public authority or transport operator] going to do about it?"
Relevance to SUMP – One of the reasons for promoting participation throughout the preparation of SUMPs is that it will lead to greater public ownership of the strategy and proposed measures. This should help to maintain political support and limit objections to SUMP measures during the implementation phase.

Nouriel Roubini Speaks at NYFA 2013: Is Africa's Robust Growth Sustainable?
Political turmoil in the Middle East has powerful economic and financial implications, particularly as it increases the risk of stagflation, a lethal combination of slowing growth and sharply rising inflation. Indeed, should stagflation emerge, there is a serious risk of a double-dip recession for a global economy that has barely emerged from its worst crisis in decades.

Point Defects in 2D Materials for quantum technologies

Quantum computing: foundations and programming
Quantum computing: applications and simulation
Some of the most eventful moments in history happened when our ancestors learned to harness natural resources. Think on the first humans making fire and learning to farm or, much more recently, how the control of electricity and nuclear energy changed our life.
We are now in the verge of a new technological revolution based on harnessing two of the weirdest natural resources: quantum entanglement and quantum coherence. If we make it happen, this revolution will bring extremely powerful quantum computers, unbreakable quantum communications, quantum sensors and other wonders that nobody has even begun to think of.
The potential for quantum technologies based on entanglement and coherence is so large that corporations such as INTEL, Google, IBM, Microsoft are making very large investments, and the EU is going to launch a flagship on quantum technologies.
This new revolution is known as the second quantum revolution, because we are already enjoying the first, which is based on quantum concepts, such as atomic orbitals, photons and spins. The first quantum revolution has made possible electronics, spintronics and lasers, that we all have in our pockets, and there is no need to stress how much they have change our life.
Nanotechnology is a bridge between the first and the second quantum revolutions. As we make smaller and smaller electronic devices, we reach the limit where quantum entanglement and quantum coherence start to change their behavior. The goal is now to take advantage from them.
The role of materials in all of this can not be overstated. Very much like there was a Stone age, or an Iron age, the last 6 decades are, no doubt, the Silicon age. Silicon, together with a handful of materials, form the basis of the existing technologies. But there are many materials out there, with amazing properties, and it is think is fair so say that we have just scratched on the surface of the million possibilities that they will bring to us.
For these reasons, the QuantaLab is devoted to carry out research in the broad areas of Quantum Materials and Quantum Technologies, joining forces between INL and U Minho, bringing together people with different expertise, and taking advantage of our unique nanofabrication infrastructures. We have defined very specific areas in which we will try to make relevant contributions to this fascinating second quantum revolution, and by so doing, improve the welfare of our societies.

Can I refuse to submit to a field sobriety test and or a chemical test?
Field sobriety and chemical are the two types of tests used in drunk driving cases.
A field sobriety test which is a test conducted "in the field" Typical field tests include standing on one foot, walking a straight line and turning around to walk back (walking heel-to-toe), touching a finger to your nose, and similar tests created by police over the years to "assumedly" test for sobriety.
You can refuse to take a field sobriety test, but It is not recommended. If you should happen to refuse to submit to a field sobriety test, that refusal alone is probable cause for an arrest for OWI - operating while under the influence.
Chemical testing, also known as blood draws or blood tests, are conducted at a hospital.

The challenges in calculating disability benefits
by Mark Debofsky | May 2, 2011 | Disability Benefits | 0 comments
Calculating disability benefits for owners of businesses can be very complicated, especially in situations where the insured continues working and receives both a salary as well as a share of the profits from the business. How is the insurer to know whether the insured is manipulating business earnings and under-reporting W-2 earnings from the business? A recent ruling from the 1st U.S. Court of Appeals attempted to tackle some of these issues.
In D&H Therapy Assoc., LLC v. Boston Mutual Life Ins.Co., 2011 U.S.App.LEXIS 8138 (1st Cir. April 20, 2011), the disability claimant, Robin Dolan, was a part-owner of D&H Therapy Associates, an organization that provides physical, occupational and speech therapy services at several clinics in Rhode Island. In 2001, Dolan needed to reduce her workload and salary on account of a physical disability and she applied for disability benefits to partially make up the earnings loss. Accepting her proof of disability, Boston Mutual paid partial disability benefits from 2002 until 2006. However, when a 2006 audit revealed that Dolan was receiving a share of the profits of her business in addition to her wages, the insurer counted those earnings in maintaining that Dolan did not suffer an earnings loss and was, therefore, never qualified to receive benefits. When pre-litigation appeals failed, Dolan filed suit seeking reinstatement of her benefits, while Boston Mutual filed a counterclaim seeking reimbursement of benefits paid.
Because the disability benefits were provided under a group employer-sponsored plan, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) law applied and the court utilized the abuse of discretion standard of review based on discretion-granting language in the policy. Finding the insurer's actions were within the scope of its discretion, the court ruled in Boston Mutual's favor upholding the termination of benefits. However, because the court also found that Boston Mutual's counterclaim sought monetary damages rather than equitable relief, the only relief permitted under ERISA, the court denied any recovery on the insurer's counterclaim. The appeals court reversed and held that Boston Mutual abused its discretion when it determined that business profits could be included in Dolan's income.
Under the policy, benefits are due when an insured suffers at least a 20 percent loss in "predisability earnings." That term is defined in the policy as "the insured person's earnings for the prior calendar year as reported by the group policyholder on Form W-2, excluding commissions." However, Boston Mutual maintained the term "current earnings" used in the policy allowed the insurer to consider earnings from all sources and that such an interpretation was within the bounds of its discretionary authority.
The court began its discussion by trying to ascertain what conduct would constitute an "abuse of discretion" under ERISA. Finding the absence of a generally accepted definition and the lack of a line of demarcation, the court turned to trust law for guidance. The court remarked that MetLife v. Glenn, 554 U.S. 105, 117 (2008) applied trust law principles to formulate a guideline that asks "judges to determine lawfulness by taking account of several different, often case-specific, factors, reaching a result by weighing all together." However, the court also pointed out: "[O]ur analysis must weigh the values advanced by ERISA in empowering plan administrators as fiduciaries, … with the dangers policed by the statute arising from breach of fiduciary duty." *27 (citations omitted). Applying that principle, the court noted that in some circuits "the analysis has been conducted with reference to the consistency of an administrator's construction with the 'plain meaning' of the plan." Id. (citations omitted). However, the court further remarked that those circuits "have not defined how courts should determine whether an interpretation does not accord with an ERISA plan's plain meaning." The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in Chacko v. Sabre, Inc. , 473 F.3d 604, 611 (5th Cir. 2006), asks whether a plan interpretation is "legally correct" and reaches that conclusion by considering: "(1) whether the administrator has given the plan a uniform construction; (2) whether the interpretation is consistent with a fair reading of the plan; and (3) any unanticipated costs resulting from different interpretations of the plan." A conclusion that the decision is not legally correct then determines whether an abuse of discretion has occurred by examining three factors: "(1) the internal consistency of the plan under the administrator's interpretation, (2) any relevant regulations formulated by the appropriate administrative agencies, and (3) the factual background of the determination and any inferences of lack of good faith." *28-*29 (also citing Gosselink v. Am. Tel. & Tel., Inc. , 272 F.3d 722 (5th Cir. 2001)). Other circuits look to the following factors:
(1) whether the administrator's language is contrary to the clear language of the plan; (2) whether the interpretation conflicts with the substantive or procedural requirements of ERISA; (3) whether the interpretation renders any language of the plan meaningless or internally inconsistent; (4) whether the interpretation is consistent with the goals of the plan; and (5) whether the administrator has consistently followed the interpretation.
Manning v. Am. Republic Ins. Co., 604 F.3d 1030, 1041-42 (8th Cir. 2010); see also Howley v. Mellon Fin. Corp., 625 F.3d 788, 795 (3d Cir. 2010). The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals adds to those five factors the question of "whether the decision-making process was reasoned and principled," "any external standard relevant to the exercise of discretion" and "the fiduciary's motives and any conflict of interest it may have." Carden v. Aetna Life Ins. Co., 559 F.3d 256, 261 (4th Cir. 2009).
The 1st Circuit declined to formulate any specific guiding factors because it was clear to the court that Boston Mutual's policy interpretation "stretches beyond the bounds of reasonableness." Given the various definitions in the policy, the court ruled the only reasonable interpretation is to consistently use W-2 earnings in calculating both predisability and post-disability earnings. Ultimately, the court found that Boston Mutual's interpretation "renders meaningless the only provision in the plan that appears to define 'earnings' in a substantive way" in relation to W-2 earnings. Countering Boston Mutual's argument that its construction was appropriate in order to avoid someone in Dolan's position from artificially reducing W-2 earnings and boosting profits, the court cited policy provisions relating to termination of benefits which provide that benefits will end if the insured is "able to increase [his or her] current earnings by increasing the number of hours [he or she] work[s] or the number of duties [he or she] performs in [his or her] regular occupation but … does not do so." The court also found Boston Mutual's argument was undermined by its payment of benefits for four years despite having knowledge since the inception of the claim about Dolan's other sources of income.
A significant omission from this opinion is any discussion of contra proferentem, a principle of insurance law that construes ambiguities in the contract against the insurer and in favor of the insured. While it can be argued that applying that doctrine is contrary to the plan administrator's discretion to interpret the policy, a financially self-serving interpretation of an ambiguous term would obviously implicate the insurer's inherent conflict of interest due to its dual role as plan administrator and benefit funding source. Since the issuance of the Supreme Court'sGlenn decision, the law on that issue is only just beginning to develop.
The court's discussion about how to analyze an abuse of discretion, while interesting, ultimately offered no guidance at all, which is yet another reason why the entire notion in ERISA law of granting deference to insurers' claim decisions and policy language interpretations is inapt. The two principal arguments made to support such a regime are easily exposed. First, while the notion that deferential review would result in lower premiums appears attractive at first blush, the cost savings at the expense of coverage that may ultimately prove illusory constitutes a poor bargain.
Second, the oft-quoted statement that ERISA's legislative history supports the notion that ERISA litigation was intended to be "a method for workers and beneficiaries to resolve disputes over benefits inexpensively and expeditiously," is hardly justification for a regime of overly lenient claim reviews lacking ordinary discovery and plenary trial procedures. Even more importantly, though, the quotation has no application whatsoever to ERISA civil actions brought pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 1132(a). The citation for that comment can be traced to Senate Report 93-383 accompanying S.1179, a predecessor to the bill that eventually became the ERISA law. The draft bill afforded "the opportunity to resolve any controversy over [ ] retirement benefits under qualified plans in an inexpensive and expeditious manner … Accordingly, the committee has decided to provide that controversies as to retirement benefits are to be heard by the Department of Labor." S.Rep. 93-383, reprinted in 1974 U.S. Code Cong. & Admin. News 5000. That provision was dropped from the final bill, nor is there any comparable provision in ERISA.
On the contrary, the final conference report explained that ERISA civil actions "are to be regarded as arising under the laws of the United States in similar fashion to those brought under Section 301 of the Labor-Management Relations Act of 1947." H.R. Conf. Rep. 93-1280, 93d Cong., 2d Sess. 327 (1974). According to Textile Workers Union v. Lincoln Mills, 353 U.S. 448, 456 (1957), Section 301 (29 U.S.C. '§185) requires the federal courts to "fashion from the policy of our national labor laws" a federal common law governing the interpretation of collective bargaining agreements which includes plenary proceedings that even encompass trials before juries. See, Chauffeurs, Teamsters & Helpers, Local No. 391 v. Terry, 494 U.S. 558 (1990).While the 1st Circuit's conclusion in D&H Therapy Associates was justifiable based on Dolan's uncontested disability, the reduction of her hours and duties and the insurer's inconstancy, given the uncertainty as to the meaning of what behavior constitutes an abuse of discretion, a trial would have led to a more certain result.

8th Circ. Ruling Sets Road Map For Disability Benefit Reviews
Jan 9, 2022 | Disability Benefits, ERISA
Disability benefit cases governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act are not only about whether someone qualifies for benefits, but often involve benefit terminations. While many courts have confronted that situation, the guidelines for assessing ongoing disability benefit claims have varied, especially under a deferential standard of judicial review.

Over the past several months, there has been a flurry of federal appellate opinions questioning civil procedure norms in Employee Retirement Income Security Act benefits litigation.[1] A pair of brand new appellate decisions have also focused on the same issue, although not necessarily in a direction that harmonizes ERISA civil procedure with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

CNCA Statement: Prime Minister Harper Urged to Show Leadership on Corporate Social Responsibility - June 11, 2007
The Canadian Network on Corporate Accountability (CNCA) commends the G8 for addressing the issue of corporate social responsibility (CSR) during its summit last week. The CNCA is encouraged that particular emphasis was placed on the operations of mining, oil and gas companies.
Allegations of serious human rights violations committed by Canadian extractive companies in developing countries have prompted Canadians to call for clear, legally-binding standards.
G8 leaders expressed concern that, "in some cases, (...) extraction and processing of resources are associated with misuse of revenues, environmental destruction, armed conflict and state fragility," and identified the need for "further enhancing the contribution of mineral resources to sustainable growth."
The heads of state called for the development of a "consolidated set of principles and guidelines" that apply to the international mining sector in developing countries to ensure that the sector contributes to development. They emphasized that all stakeholders be involved to build consensus around appropriate standards for the mining sector.
In Canada, such consensus was recently reached among industry and civil society representatives through a national consultation process on the Canadian extractive sector in developing countries. Prime Minister Harper highlighted the consultation as a Canadian initiative that is supportive of G8 objectives. The Prime Minister affirmed that "implementation of the recommendations from this process will place Canada among the most active G8 countries in advancing international guidelines and principles on corporate social responsibility (CSR) in this sector."
The CNCA calls on Prime Minister Harper to seize this opportunity for global leadership and adopt the Canadian CSR Roundtable recommendations, including the Canadian CSR Standards and accompanying guidelines. Canadians lead the world as investors in extractive operations; it's time we showed similar leadership with our environmental, social and human rights practices.

The collection of journals is now housed in the Seaborne Library on the main campus of the University of Chester, where it is available for reference only by members of the Society, students and the general public; please sign in at the library helpdesk. Volumes which come under the heading of 'local studies' are currently housed at Chester History and Heritage in St Michael's Church in Bridge Street Row East. The Society's collection of manuscripts is cared for at Cheshire Archives and Local Studies in Duke Street, Chester.

The library developed through the purchase, exchange and presentation of periodicals, books, pamphlets, prints and manuscripts. Its most important acquisition was the antiquarian collection of the historian J P Earwaker (1847-95), which related to all aspects of Cheshire's history.
Although the main emphasis was on local archaeology and history, the collection also covered such subject areas as religion, the arts, languages (including dialect glossaries), literature and general archaeology and history. The library also acquired many pamphlets, some dating back to the sixteenth century and including a large number of printed sermons.
The library's map and print collection illustrated places in Cheshire and its surrounding counties and included examples of the work of Nathaniel Buck and T Landseer. There were also many late nineteenth-century photographs of Cheshire buildings.
An Oral History Collection was created in the 1980s. It contained recollections of life in Chester during the past century, reflected in over 120 interviews recorded on cassette tapes.
Between 2010 and 2014 the Society reviewed and reduced the size of its library holdings, recognising that it was not equipped to conserve them or make them accessible as they deserved. It retains a core collection of journals, books and pamphlets relevant to the aims of the Society (see our Acquisition and Retention Criteria); other items of local interest have been transferred to Cheshire Archives and Local Studies, Chester Cathedral Library and the Grosvenor Museum.
